Easy-to-make homemade crackers that taste exactly like white cheddar cheez-its! Thin and crispy with salty, sharp cheddar dominating every bite. They don’t look like anything like real white cheddar cheez-its but looks don’t matter when they’re homemade. Trust me when I say they’re just like them, only better because you know what’s in them.
